The official video for ‘Monument (The Inevitable End Version)’ featuring Robyn, taken from Röyksopp final album: ‘The Inevitable End’. The video was shot on Röyksopp & Robyn’s Do It Again Tour through 2014.

We feel like this is a goodbye to the traditional album format. In our consecutive run of albums, we have been able to say what we want to say and do what we want to do with the LP. We’re not going to stop making music, but the album format as such, this is the last thing from us…

“We’re just about to shoot a full video for “Do It Again”. Awaiting it’s completion, the most impatient souls out there can spend the meantime losing themselves in this mesmerizing black&white hypno-bonanza – and even sing along should they so desire… B+B”

Röyksopp and Robyn announce the release of their single ‘Do It Again’ on the 28th April.

‘Do It Again’ is taken from the ‘Do It Again’ mini album, which will be released on 26th May 2014. This mini album is a precursor to bigger things from Röyksopp. The inevitable end of the campaign will bring their new album…

On December 16th the Norwegian electronic duo Röyksopp will present “Running To The Sea”, their first new single since 2011. “Running To The Sea” features vocals by Norwegian artist Susanne Sundfør. Note that it was Sundfør who also collaborated with the band in creating a cover version of Depeche Mode’s “Ice Machine”. The singing on the b-side “Something In My Heart” is provided by Jamie of The Irrepressibles.

Time to sum up the past ten years and list the 20 best / most important electronic, electro, EBM and synth albums that has been released. This is of course a tricky quest and will most likely create some debate.
